About 400 tons of coal or four fifths of a million pounds will be saved by Elyria public schools this winter due to mild weather. Superintendent John R. Wilmot says savings run about 20 percent overall, with grade schools saving more than high schools. He notes future weather could alter the final percentage, and cites occasional late year heat needs.
About 25 Elyria children who were out of school in the latter part of the first semester 1931-32 have been returned to class. School attendance officer M. Williams says most held working permits but did not work late in the term. State law required return once work ceased, and the new semester prompted all to rejoin classes.
The article quotes a speaker arguing that mild weather does not produce as much coal saving as many people think, challenging common assumptions about fuel efficiency and winter demand.
